Overview of Cisco Identity Services Engine
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), as a next-generation identity and access control policy platform
enables enterprises to enforce compliance, enhance infrastructure security, and streamline their service
operations. The unique architecture of Cisco ISE allows enterprises to gather real-time contextual
information from networks, users, and devices in order to make proactive governance decisions by tying
identity to various network elements including access switches, wireless LAN controllers (WLCs),
virtual private network (VPN) gateways, and data center switches.
Cisco ISE is a key component of the Cisco Security Group Access Solution. Cisco ISE is a consolidated
policy-based access control solution that:
•
Combines authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA), posture, profiler, and guest
management services into one appliance
•
Enforces endpoint compliance by checking the device posture of all endpoints accessing the
network, including 802.1X environments
•
Provides support for discovery, profiling, policy-based placement, and monitoring of endpoint
devices on the network
•
Enables consistent policy in centralized and distributed deployments allowing services to be
delivered where they are needed
Cisco Identity Services Engine API Reference Guide, Release 1.3
OL-26134-01
vii
•
Employs advanced enforcement capabilities including Security Group Access (SGA) through the
use of Security Group Tags (SGTs) and Security Group (SG) Access Control Lists (ACLs)
•
Supports scalability to support a number of deployment scenarios from small office to large
enterprise environments
The Cisco ISE architecture supports standalone and distributed deployments, allowing you to configure
and manage your network from a centralized portal. For more information on the capabilities of Cisco
ISE, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Admin Guide, Release 1.3.
Purpose
This application programming interface (API) reference guide provides only a brief high-level overview
of the capabilities afforded by the supported APIs. The purpose of this API reference guide is to provide
a developer, system or network administrator, or system integrator with basic guidelines for using the
outlined APIs within the Cisco ISE deployment.
The REST API calls use queries to determine the following types of data:
•
Number of active sessions
•
Types of active sessions
•
Authentication status of active session
•
MAC addresses in use
•
NAS IP addresses in use
•
Node versions and types
•
Reasons for node session failures
The External RESTful Services APIs and related API calls can be used to perform CRUD (Create, Read,
Update, Delete) operations on Cisco ISE resources. External RESTful Services is based on HTTP
protocol and REST methodology.
Note
For more information about the Cisco ISE network, its nodes and personas, concepts of operation or
usage, or how to use the Cisco ISE user interface, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Admin Guide,
Release 1.3.
Audience
This API reference guide is intended for experienced system administrators who administer Cisco ISE
appliances within a network environment, system integrators who may want to make use of the APIs, or
third-party partners who have with the responsibility for managing or troubleshooting Cisco ISE
deployments. As a prerequisite to using this API reference guide, you should have a basic understanding
of troubleshooting and diagnostic practices and how to make and interpret API calls.

Cisco ISE Monitoring REST APIs
CH A P T E R
1
Introduction to the Monitoring REST API
The Monitoring REST API allows allow you to gather session and node-specific information by using
Monitoring nodes in your network. A session is defined as the duration between when you access a
desired node and complete the operations needed to gather information.
The following Monitoring REST API categories are supported in Cisco ISE, Release 1.3:
Note
•
Session Management
•
Troubleshooting
•
Change of Authorization (CoA)
You use only supported categories to gather information about endpoints being monitored by the
Monitoring persona. Monitoring is one of three supported personas that a node type can perform in a
Cisco ISE, Release 1.3, deployment. For the remainder of this guide, “Monitoring node” will be used to
describe the Monitoring persona of a Cisco ISE node.
Any attempt to use these categories to gather information about the Policy Service persona of a Cisco
ISE appliance will result in an error. For more information about Cisco ISE nodes and personas, see
Cisco Identity Services Engine Admin Guide, Release 1.3.
Monitoring REST API calls allow you to locate, monitor, and accumulate important real-time,
session-based information stored in individual endpoints in a network. You can access this information
through a Monitoring node.
The real-time, session-based information that you gather can help understand Cisco ISE operations and
assist in diagnosing conditions or issues. It can also be used to troubleshoot error conditions or an
activity or behavior that may be affecting monitoring operations. As shown in Figure 1-1, the Monitoring
REST API calls are used to access the Monitoring node and retrieve important session-based information

Verifying a Monitoring Node
Before you Begin
Before you can successfully invoke the API calls on a Monitoring node, you need to verify that the node
you want to monitor is valid.
Note
To be able to use a public Monitoring REST API, you must first authenticate with Cisco ISE using valid
credentials.
Step 1
Enter valid login credentials (Username and Password) in the Cisco ISE Login window, and click Login.
The Cisco ISE dashboard and user interface appears.
Step 2
Choose Authorization > System > Deployment.
The Deployment Nodes page appears, which lists all configured nodes that are deployed.
Step 3
In the Roles column of the Deployment Nodes page, verify that the role for the target node that you want
to monitor is listed as a Monitoring node.

Introduction to the Monitoring REST API
Supported API Calls
If you intend to use a generic programmatic interface to authenticate with the Monitoring REST API
supported by Cisco ISE, you need to first create a REST-based client that bridges Cisco ISE and the
specific tool you use. You then use this REST client to authenticate with the Cisco ISE Monitoring REST
APIs, marshal and submit the API requests to the Monitoring nodes, and then unmarshal the API
responses and pass them on to the specified tool.

Session Management Query APIs
This chapter describes the session management API calls that provide the means for retrieving important
session-related information from within the Cisco Monitoring ISE node in your Cisco ISE deployment.
Session Counter API Calls
The following session counter API calls let you quickly gather a current count of session-related
information on a target Cisco Monitoring ISE node in your Cisco ISE deployment:
•
Active sessions (ActiveCount)—An active session is one that is authenticated onto the network.
•
Postured sessions (PostureCount)—Postured state is asserted when posture is concluded
(Compliant/Noncompliant). Posture is optional, for example, IP-phone/printer would not go to
Postured state. Postured state is a short lived interim state, since after Postured, it moves to Started
state when accounting start is set.
•
Profiled sessions (ProfilerCount)
These various states are meant to troubleshoot if an endpoint gets stuck in any of the phases.
Active Sessions Counter
You can use the ActiveCount API call to retrieve a count of all currently active sessions. This section
provides a schema file output example, a procedure for counting all active sessions by invoking the
ActiveCount API call, and a sample of the active sessions data returned after this API call is issued.
ActiveCount API Output Schema
This sample schema file is the output of the ActiveCount API call for retrieving a count of the active
sessions on the target Monitoring persona of an ISE node:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="sessionCount" type="activeCount"/>

Session Management Query APIs
Session Counter API Calls
Invoking the ActiveCount API Call
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
For example, when you initially log into a Cisco Monitoring ISE node with the hostname of acme123,
this would display the following URL Address field for this node:
https://acme123/admin/LoginAction.do#pageId=com_cisco_xmp_web_page_tmpdash
Step 4
Enter the ActiveCount API call in the URL Address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/”
component with the API call component (/admin/API/mnt/<specific-api-call>):
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/Session/ActiveCount
Note
Step 5
You must carefully enter each API call in the URL Address field of a target node because these
calls are case-sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents the target Cisco
Monitoring ISE node.
Press Enter to issue the API call.

Session Management Query APIs
Simple Session List API Calls
Invoking the AuthList API Call
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
For example, when you initially log into a Cisco Monitoring ISE node with the hostname of acme123,
this would display the following URL Address field for this node:
https://acme123/admin/LoginAction.do#pageId=com_cisco_xmp_web_page_tmpdash
Step 4
Enter the AuthList API call in the URL Address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/”
component with the API call component (/admin/API/mnt/Session/<specific-api-call>):
Note
The first of the following two examples uses a defined starttime and null parameter, which
displays a list of the currently active sessions that were authenticated after the specified start
time. The second example uses the null/null parameter that displays a list of all currently active
authenticated sessions. See Sample Data Returned from the AuthList API Call with the null/null
Option, page 2-8, which displays samples of the four parameter setting types for this API call.
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/Session/AuthList/2010-12-14 15:33:15/null
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/Session/AuthList/null/null
Note
Step 5
You must carefully enter each API call in the URL Address field of a target node because these
calls are case-sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents a Cisco
Monitoring ISE node.
Press Enter to issue the API call.

information, such as the following:
•
MAC address session search (MACAddress)
•
User name session search (UserName)
•
NAS IP address session search (IPAddress associated with a target Monitoring ISE node)
MAC Address Session Search
You can use the MACAddress API call to retrieve a specified MAC address from a current, active
session. This API call lists a variety of session-related information drawn from node database tables.

Invoking the MACAddress API Call
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
For example, when you initially log into a Cisco Monitoring ISE node with the hostname of acme123,
this would display the following URL Address field for this node:
https://acme123/admin/LoginAction.do#pageId=com_cisco_xmp_web_page_tmpdash
Step 4
Enter the MACAddress API call in the URL Address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/”
component with the API call component (/admin/API/mnt/<specific-api-call>/<macaddress>):
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/Session/MACAddress/0A:0B:0C:0D:0E:0F
Step 5
Note
Make sure that you specify the MAC address using the XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format.
Note
You must carefully enter each API call in the URL Address field of a target node because these
calls are case-sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents a Cisco
Monitoring ISE node.
Press Enter to issue the API call.

Invoking the UserName API Call
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
For example, when you initially log into a Cisco Monitoring ISE node with the hostname of acme123,
this would display the following URL Address field for this node:
https://acme123/admin/LoginAction.do#pageId=com_cisco_xmp_web_page_tmpdash
Step 4
Enter the UserName API call in the URL Address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/”
component with the API call component (/admin/API/mnt/<specific-api-call>/<username>):
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/Session/UserName/graham_hancock
Note
Step 5
You must carefully enter each API call in the URL Address field of a target node because these
calls are case-sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents a Cisco
Monitoring ISE node.
Press Enter to issue the API call.

Invoking the NAS IPAddress API Call
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
For example, when you initially log into a Cisco Monitoring ISE node with the hostname of acme123,
this would display the following URL Address field for this node:
https://acme123/admin/LoginAction.do#pageId=com_cisco_xmp_web_page_tmpdash
Step 4
Enter the IPAddress API call in the URL Address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/”
component with the API call component (/admin/API/mnt/<specific-api-call>/<nasipaddress>):
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/Session/IPAddress/10.10.10.10
Step 5
Note
Make sure that you specify the NAS IP address using the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
Note
You must carefully enter each API call in the URL Address field of a target node because these
calls are case-sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents a Cisco
Monitoring ISE node.
Press Enter to issue the API call.

Stale Sessions
Some devices, such as Wireless Lan Controllers (WLCs), may allow stale sessions to linger. In such
cases, you can use the HTTP DELETE API call to manually delete the inactive sessions. To do so, use
cURL, a free 3rd-party command line tool for transferring data with URL (HTTP, HTTPS) syntax.
ISE no longer tracks those sessions. This is to mitigate the case when ISE lost connectivity to the
network for an extended period of time, and missed a pile of accounting stops from the WLC/NAD. You
can clear such stale information from ISE using this API.
Note
GNU Wget, the free utility for retrieving files using HTTP and HTTPS, does not support the HTTP
DELETE API call.
Removing Stale Sessions
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
Note
Step 4
API calls are case-sensitive, and must be entered carefully. The variable <mntnode> represents
a Cisco Monitoring ISE node.
To manually delete a stale session for a MAC address, issue the following API call on the command line:
curl -X DELETE https://<mntnode>/admin/API/mnt/Session/Delete/MACAddress/<madaddress>
Step 5
To manually delete a stale session for a session ID, issue the following API call on the command line:
curl -X DELETE https://<mntnode>/admin/API/mnt/Session/Delete/SessionID/<sid#>
Step 6
To manually delete all sessions on the Monitoring node, issue the following API call on the command
line:
curl -X DELETE https://<mntnode>/admin/API/mnt/Session/Delete/All

Query APIs for Troubleshooting
This chapter provides examples and describes how to use the individual Cisco Prime Network Control
System (NCS) REST API calls.
Cisco Prime NCS API Calls
The Cisco Prime NCS API calls provide a mechanism for retrieving key troubleshooting information
about the target Cisco Monitoring ISE node sessions that include node version and type, failure reasons,
authentication status, and accounting status.
Troubleshooting Cisco ISE using the Query API Calls
Cisco Prime NCS troubleshooting API calls send status requests to the target Cisco Monitoring ISE node
in your Cisco ISE deployment and retrieve the following diagnostic-related information:
•
Node version and type (using the Version API call)
•
Failure reasons (using the FailureReasons API call)
•
Authentication status (using the AuthStatus API call)
•
Accounting status (using the AcctStatus API call)
Node Version and Type API Call
You can use the Version API call to test the REST programmatic interface (PI) service and the credentials
of each node. This section provides a schema file output example, a procedure for requesting the version
of the Cisco ISE software and the node type by invoking this API call, and a sample of the node version
and type that is returned after this API call is issued.
The node types can be any of the following:
•
STANDALONE_MNT_NODE = 0
•
ACTIVE_MNT_NODE= 1
•
BACKUP_MNT_NODE = 2
•
NOT_AN_MNT_NODE = 3
Cisco Identity Services Engine API Reference Guide, Release 1.2
OL-26134-01

Chapter 3
Query APIs for Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Cisco ISE using the Query API Calls
Version API Output Schema
This sample schema file is the output of the Version API call after sending it to the target Cisco
Monitoring ISE node:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="product" type="product"/>
<xs:complexType name="product">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="version" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="type_of_node" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
Invoking the Version API Call
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
If your login is unsuccessful, click the Problem logging in? link in the Login page and follow the
instructions in Step 2.
For example, when you initially log into a Cisco Monitoring ISE node with the hostname of acme123,
this would display the following URL Address field for this node:
https://acme123/admin/LoginAction.do#pageId=com_cisco_xmp_web_page_tmpdash
Step 4
Enter the Version API call in the URL Address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/”
component with the API call component (/admin/API/mnt/<specific-api-call>):
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/Version
Note
Step 5
You must carefully enter each API call in the URL Address field of a target node because these
calls are case-sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents a Cisco
Monitoring ISE node.
Press Enter to issue the API call.

You can use the FailureReasons API call to return a list of failure reasons returned in the authentication
status check done on the target node. This section provides a schema file output example, a procedure
for requesting a list of all failure reasons logged by the Cisco Monitoring ISE node by invoking this API
call, and a sample of the failure reasons returned after this API call is issued. Each failure reason that is
returned consists of the following elements shown in Table 3-1.
Note

Appendix A, “Cisco ISE Failure Reasons Report”
Authentication Status API Call
You can use the AuthStatus API call to check the authentication status of sessions on the target node.
The query associated with this API call requires at least one MAC address to be searched for a match,
with a user-configurable limit of the most recent records for the specified MAC address returned.
This section provides a schema file output example, a procedure for sending a a request to search for
session authentication status on a target Monitoring mode by invoking this API call, and a sample of the
data returned after this API call is issued.
The AuthStatus API call lets you configure the following search-related parameters:
•
Duration—Defines the number of seconds in which an attempt is made to search and retrieve the
authentication status records associated with the designated MAC address. Valid user-configurable
values range from 1 to 864000 seconds (10 days). If you enter a value of 0 seconds, this specifies a
default duration of 10 days.
•
Records—Defines the number of session records to be searched per MAC address. Valid
user-configurable values range from 1 to 500 records. If you enter 0, this specifies a default setting
of 200 records.
Note
If you specify the value 0 for both the duration and the records parameters, this API call
returns only the very latest authentication session record associated with the designated
MAC address(es).

Here is an example of the generic form of a URL with the Duration and Records attributes:
https://10.10.10.10/admin/API/mnt/AuthStatus/MACAddress/01:23:45:67:89:98/900000/2/All
•
Attributes—Defines the number of attributes in the authentication status table that are returned from
an authentication status search using the AuthStatus API call. Valid values include 0 (the default),
All, or user_name+acs_timestamp (see the AuthStatus schema example, AcctStatus API Output
Schema, page 3-12).
– If you enter “0”, the attributes defined in Table 3-2 are returned. These are listed in the
restAuthStatus section of the output schema.
– If you enter “All”, a fuller set of attributes are returned. These are listed in the
fullRESTAuthStatus section of the output schema.
– If you enter the values listed in the schema for user_name+acs_timestamp, only those attributes
are returned. The user_name and acs_timestamp attributes are listed in the restAuthStatus
section of the output schema.

Query APIs for Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Cisco ISE using the Query API Calls
Invoking the AuthStatus API Call
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or ip
address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter the username and case-sensitive password, that was specified and configured during the initial
Cisco ISE setup.
Step 3
Click Login or press Enter.
If your login is unsuccessful, click the Problem logging in? link in the Login page and follow the
instructions in Step 2.
For example, when you initially log into a Cisco Monitoring ISE node with the hostname of acme123,
this would display the following URL Address field for this node:
https://acme123/admin/LoginAction.do#pageId=com_cisco_xmp_web_page_tmpdash
Step 4
Enter the AuthStatus API call in the URL Address field of the target node by replacing the “/admin/”
component with the API call component (/admin/API/mnt/<specific-api-call>/MACAddress/
<macaddress>/<seconds>/<numberofrecordspermacaddress>/All):
https://acme123/admin/API/mnt/AuthStatus/MACAddress/00:50:56:10:13:02/120/100/Al
l
Note
Step 5
The REST API calls are case-sensitive. The use of “mnt” in the API call convention represents
a Cisco Monitoring ISE node.
Press Enter to issue the API call.

Query APIs for Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Cisco ISE using the Query API Calls
Account Status API Call
You can use the AcctStatus API call to retrieve the latest device and session account information on the
target node. This section provides a schema file output example, a procedure for sending a request for
the latest device and session information by invoking this API call, and a sample of the data returned
after this API call is issued. The AcctStatus API call lets you configure a time-related parameter:
•
Duration—Defines the number of seconds in which an attempt is made to search and retrieve the
latest account device records associated with the designated MAC address. Valid user-configurable
values range from 1 to 432000 seconds (5 days). For example,
– If you enter a value of 2400 seconds (40 minutes), this means that you want the latest account
device records for the designated MAC address that are available in the past 40 minutes.
– If you enter a value of 0 seconds, this specifies a default duration of 15 minutes (900 seconds).
This means that you want the latest account device records for the designated MAC address that
are available within this time period.
The AcctList API call provides the following account status data fields as API outputs (see Table 3-3):

Overview
This chapter provides guidelines and examples for using the supported External RESTful Services APIs
and related API calls. These calls enable you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
operations on Cisco ISE resources.
Supported Cisco ISE Resources
The Cisco ISE External RESTful Services allow you to perform operations on the following types of ISE
resources:
•
End points
•
End point identity groups
•
Guest users

Full request and response examples are provided in Chapter 7, “External RESTful Services API
Operations.”.
External RESTful Services API Authentication and Authorization
The External RESTful Services APIs are based on HTTPS protocol and REST methodology and uses
port 9060.
The External RESTful Services APIs support basic authentication. The authentication credentials are
encrypted and are part of the request header.
The ISE administrator must assign special privileges to a user to perform operations using the External
RESTful Services APIs. The ISE administrator can assign the following two roles to perform operations
using the External RESTful Services APIs:
•
External RESTful Services Admin—For full access to all ERS APIs (GET, POST, DELETE, PUT).
•
External RESTful Services Operator—For Read Only access (GET request only).
If you do not have the required permissions and still try to perform operations using the External
RESTful Services APIs, you will receive an error response.

Sponsor Authentication and Authorization, page 6-1
Enabling External RESTful Services APIs from the GUI
You must enable the Cisco ISE REST API in order for applications developed for a Cisco ISE REST API to
be able to access Cisco ISE. The Cisco REST APIs uses HTTPS port 9060, which is closed by default. If the
Cisco ISE REST APIs are not enabled on the Cisco ISE admin server, the client application will receive a
time-out error from the server for any Guest REST API request.
External RESTful Service requests of all types are valid only for the primary ISE node. Secondary nodes
have read-access (GET requests).
Procedure
Step 1
Enter the Cisco ISE URL in the address bar of your browser (for example, https://<ise hostname or
ip address>/admin/).
Step 2
Enter your username and case-sensitive password.

External RESTful Services API Status
You can verify whether the External RESTful Services APIs are enabled for the primary and secondary
nodes on the Administration > Settings > ERS Settings page in the GUI.
The External RESTful Services APIs are not enabled by default. If you try to evoke the External
RESTful Services API calls before enabling them, you will receive an error response.
External RESTful Services APIs have a debug logging category, which you can enable from the debug
logging page of the Cisco ISE GUI.
Note
For more information, see the Debug Log Configuration Options section of the Cisco Identity Services
Engine Admin Guide, Release 1.3.
Data Validation
CRUD data sent to the server is validated with the same validation rules that Cisco ISE uses for the GUI.
All validations are centralized in a validation layer. All XML data being posted is validated against the
schema.
The following two types of validations occur: data validation and structural validation. Data validation
validates the data to be ISE compliant, for example, mandatory fields, field length, types, and so on.
Where as, structural validation happens against the schema, for example, fields order, names, and so on.
Namespaces
You must maintain strict namespaces within resources names and URIs as follows:
•
Identity for internal user, endpoint, endpoint groups and identity groups
•
SGA for SGT
•
External RESTful Services for all other object resources such as search results that appears in the
response message (the client do need to send ERS namespace in requests)

Introduction to ERS APIs
External RESTful Services SDK
The Accept/Content-Type headers must contain the following namespaces:
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.<resource-namespace>.<resource-type>.<major
version>.<minor version>+xml
For example: application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.identity.internaluser.1.0+xml
The request XML should contain the namespace definition as follows:
identity.ers.ise.cisco.com
sga.ers.ise.cisco.com
For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns:endpoint xmlns:ns="identity.ers.ise.cisco.com" id="id">
<group>Profiled</group>
…
</ns:endpoint>
External RESTful Services SDK
You can use the External RESTful Services SDK to start building your own tools. You can access the
External RESTful Services SDK from the following URL: https://<ISE-ADMIN-NODE>:9060/ers/sdk.
External RESTful Services SDK can be accessed by the External RESTful Services Admin users only.
The SDK consists the following components:
•
Quick reference API documentation
•
List of all available API operations
•
Schema files available for download
•
Sample application in Java available for download
•
Use cases in curl script format
•
Instructions on using Chrome Postman
External RESTful Services Schema File
The External RESTful Services SDK is shipped with three XSD schema files that describe the structure
of the objects that are supported on ISE ERS interfaces.
The three XSD files are:
•
ers.xsd
•
identity.xsd
•
sga.xsd
•
network.xsd
You can use the schema with available tools such as JAXB to generate schema classes.
You can develop HTTP client or use any third-party HTTP client code and integrate it with the schema
classes that are generated from the XSD files.

Common External RESTful Service HTTP Status Codes
Table 5-3
Description of the HTTP Response Codes Returned By ERS
HTTP Status
Description
200 OK
The request was successfully completed. If this request created a new resource
that is addressable with a URI, and a response body is returned containing a
representation of the new resource, a 200 status will be returned with a Location
header containing the canonical URI for the newly created resource.
201 Created
A request that created a new resource was completed, and no response body
containing a representation of the new resource is being returned. A Location
header containing the canonical URI for the newly created resource should also
be returned.
202 Accepted
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been
completed. Per the HTTP/1.1 specification, the returned entity (if any)
SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status, and either a
pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the
request to be fulfilled.
204 No Content
The server fulfilled the request, but does not need to return a response message
body.
400 Bad Request
The request could not be processed because it contains missing or invalid
information (such as validation error on an input field, a missing required value,
and so on).
401 Unauthorized
The authentication credentials included with this request are missing or invalid.
403 Forbidden
The server recognized your credentials, but you do not possess authorization to
perform this request.
404 Not Found
The request specified a URI of a resource that does not exist.
405 Method Not
Allowed
The HTTP verb specified in the request (DELETE, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT) is
not supported for this request URI.

Description
406 Not Acceptable
The resource identified by this request is not capable of generating a
representation corresponding to one of the media types in the Accept header of
the request.
409 Conflict
A creation or update request could not be completed, because it would cause a
conflict in the current state of the resources supported by the server (for
example, an attempt to create a new resource with a unique identifier already
assigned to some existing resource).
415 Unsupported
Media Type
The media type specified in the Accept header is not supported by the server.
This will be the common response when the client resources version is no longer
supported by the server.
429 Too many
requests
There are too many simultaneous ERS requests.
500 Internal Server
Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from
fulfilling the request.
501 Not
Implemented
The server does not (currently) support the functionality required to fulfill the
request.
503 Service
Unavailable
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to temporary
overloading or maintenance of the server.
In addition to the status codes return in the response header, each request might have additional xml
content according to the nature of the request.
Version Control with External RESTful Services APIs
The External RESTful Services APIs provide backward compatibility with previous Cisco ISE versions.
The External RESTful Services APIs has a versioning mechanism for API version management. All
non-guest resources are of version 1.0 and no backward compatibility is required.
Each RESTful resource has a model version (major.minor). The version must be part of the request
header with the syntax as follows:
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.<resource-namespace>.<resource-type>.<major version>.<minor
version>+xml
For example, to get internal user resource version 1.0, the following request is passed:
DELETE https://<ISE-ADMIN-NODE>:9060/ers/config/internaluser/333
Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Accept: application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.identity.internaluser.1.0+xml
After authenticating and authorizing the request, a version match check is performed with the matching
results mentioned in the following table:

describing the versions gap and proceeds processing
the request.
Client and server major version does not match Server returns status 415 with a corresponding error
message.
Note
Each resource has an API to retrieve a list of server supported versions.
Searching and Filtering
All filtering and searching operations are through the use of filtering.
You search for a resource by sending a GET request to a resource URI. By default, the result is the first
page (page index = 0) with default size of 20. By adding filter, sort and paging parameters, described in
the following sections, to the URI, the client can control this search.
The resources resulting from a paging, filter, or sort request are bundled in a <resources> collection,
which contains for each resource its name, ID, description, and link to its full representation. This gives
the client the ability to easily drill down into the resource.
Filtering Parameters for External RESTful Services APIs
You can perform simple filtering operation through the filter query string parameter. You can send more
than one filter. The logical operator common to all filter criteria is by default AND. You can change this
by using the “filtertype=or” query string parameter.
Each resource data model description should specify if an attribute is a filtered field.
For example, to get internal users with first name starting with ‘a’ and belonging to the identity group
‘Finance’, the following request is passed:
GET
/ers/config/internaluser/?page=0&size=20&sortacs=name&filter=name.STARTSW.a&filter=identit

query parameters.
For example, to get internal users first 20 records sorted in accending order by “name” field, the
following request is passed:

External RESTful Services System Flow
Common External RESTful Services flow consists of HTTPS request sent from client and an HTTPS
response from server. The flow differs by requests types, URIs, request headers, response headers, and
response contents.

Hyperlinks
Usage of hyperlinks within XML representation is one of the strongest characteristics of Hypermedia as
the Engine of Application State (HATEOS). Hyperlinks are mostly used to convey to the client that the
resource has a representation at the given URI.
External RESTful Services links are aligned with the Atom definition of links declared in the following
namespace:

This attribute, which originally meant “relation,”
indicates the following type of links:
Type
•
“self”—link to refresh current representation
•
“next”—in collection for getting next page
•
“info”—get more info about of the resource
This is a hint to the media type of the
representation that the server may return for the
link's URI - usually is “application/xml”

Bulk Operations
A bulk request will allow you to send up to 500 operations in a single request (or 5000 operations by
ID). You can run create, update, and delete operations all resources as well as some resource-specific
operations like registering end points.
All operations in a request must be of same type, which means that you cannot send a mixed resources
request.
Each resource has its own transaction and the order of the transactions is not guarantee as it is a
multi-threaded execution.
The Cisco ISE server parses the request and validates its structure. If the request is valid and no other
bulk already in progress, the execution starts and the server returns the status code 202 (ACCEPTED) and
a unique bulk identifier in the LOCATION response header. This ID allows you to track the bulk status
later on using the Get Bulk Status operation. The status report will be available for at least 2 hours after
the operation’s start time.

Bulk Operations
If a failure occurs while executing on a resource, the failure is logged in the status report and the
execution proceeds to next resource.
Only one bulk execution is allowed to run at a time. If a bulk request is posted while another bulk
execution is still running, the server returns the response status 503 (Service Unavailable) with a
message asking the client to try again later.

An API for Guest User Resources
The Cisco Guest API is a REST (Representational State Transfer)-based set of operations that provide
secure and authenticated access to and management of Cisco guest users. With the API, you can create,
read, update, delete, and search for guest users.
When you call the API, you are calling it as if you are a sponsor using the Cisco ISE Sponsor portal to
manage guest users. In order to use the API, you must first enable access to it and then set up sponsor
authentication in ISE.
Full request and response examples are provided in External RESTful Services APIs for Guest Users,
page 7-22.
Sponsor Authentication and Authorization
A sponsor is a special type of Cisco ISE user who can create and manage guest users using the Sponsor
portal. The Guest REST API has the same capabilities as the Sponsor portal. Authentication for the Guest
REST API is similar to the process for authenticating a sponsor. The privileges specified in a sponsor group’s
policies apply to the Guest REST API.
See the Cisco ISE User Guide for more information on sponsors and sponsor groups.
Before You Begin
Like other ISE users, Cisco ISE authenticates sponsors through a local database, or through external
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Microsoft Active Directory identity stores. If you are
not using an external identity store, you must create users in Cisco ISE (Administration > Identity
Management > Identities > Users).

Bulk Executions
A bulk request will allow you to send up to 500 operations in a single request, or up to 5000 operations
based on ID.
All operations in a request must be of same type, which means that you cannot send a mixed resources
request.
Each resource has its own transaction and the order of the transactions is not guarantee as it is a
multi-threaded execution.
The Cisco ISE server parses the request and validates its structure. If the request is valid and no other
bulk already in progress, the execution starts and the server returns the status code 202 (ACCEPTED) and
a unique bulk identifier in the LOCATION response header. This ID allows you to track the bulk status
later on using the Get Bulk Status operation. The status report will be available for at least 2 hours after
the operation’s start time.
If a failure occurs while executing on a resource, the failure is logged in the status report and the
execution proceeds to next resource.

Guest Passwords
ISE automatically generates a password when a guest is created. It is possible to reset a guest’s password
through the Guest REST API by calling PUT on a specific guest user and providing an empty password.
This is the equivalent of a sponsor resetting a guest’s password from the Sponsor portal.
Use the GET operation to retrieve a guest user’s information and view their password. Cisco ISE guest
passwords are visible in the response to a GET operation as long as the password was:
1.
Automatically generated by ISE.
2.
Reset through this API or via the Sponsor Portal.
In some guest flows, the guest has the ability to change their own password. Cisco ISE guest passwords
that have been changed by the guest are not visible in the sponsor portal and are not visible via the REST
API.
It is possible to reset the password of a guest even if if the sponsor has permission to do so via the sponsor
group permissions..

Versioning
The Guest REST API for Cisco ISE Release 1.3 is version 2.0. It is designed to be compatible with future
versions.
This REST API is not compatible with previous alpha and beta versions of the Guest REST API.
Each RESTful resource has a model version (major.minor). The version must be part of the request
header with the syntax as follows:
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.<resource-namespace>.<resource-type>.<major version>.<minor
version>+xml
For example, to get guest user resource version 2.0, the following request is passed:
GET https://<ISE-ADMIN-NODE>:9060/ers/config/guestuser/333
Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Accept: application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.identity.guestuser.2.0+xml
After authenticating and authorizing the request, a version-match check is performed with one of the
following matching results.
Table 6-6
Version-match Results
Version-match
No version sent
Outcome
The server returns status 415 “Unsupported
Media Type”.
Client version equal to server version
The server proceeds with processing the request.
Client minor version not equal to server minor
version
The server adds a response warning message
describing the versions gap and proceeds
processing the request.
Client and server major version does not match
The server returns status 415 with a corresponding
error message.
Searching and Filtering
All filtering and searching operations are through the use of filtering.
You search for a resource by sending a GET request to a resource URI. By default, the result is the first
page (page index = 0) with default size of 20. By adding filter, sort and paging parameters, described in
the following sections, to the URI, the client can control this search.

Chapter 6
Guest REST API
Searching and Filtering
The resources resulting from a paging, filter, or sort request are bundled in a <resources> collection,
which contains for each resource its name, ID, description, and link to its full representation. This gives
the client the ability to easily drill down into the resource.
Filtering Parameters
Filtering is available through the filter query string parameter. The structure of a filter is a triplet of field
operator, parameter, and value, separated with dots. For example, use filter=name.STARTSW.g to find all
guest users with usernames that start with the letter ‘g’.
If you use multiple parameters in your filter, the result will be the AND of those parameters. That means that
the results will be users that match all of the parameters sent to the API. Each resource description specifies
if an attribute is a filtered field.
Note
Invalid filters values result in status 400 (Bad Request), with corresponding messages.
The following table shows the parameters available in filter queries.

Page Size Parameters
Search results default to 20 resources per page. Page numbering starts at page '0'. The maximum number
of resources per page cannot be more than 100. Illegal parameter values result in status 400 (Bad
Request) with corresponding messages
The page size parameters can override the defaults by using the paging parameters as described in
Table 6-9.
In the following example, the page size is changed to 50 resources:
GET
https://<ISE-ADMIN-NODE>:9060/ers/config/guestuser?filter=name.STARTSW.b&filter=emailAddre
ss.CONTAINS.bob&size=50&page=0
Sorting Parameters
By default, the sort column is name and the sort direction is sortasc. You can override the defaults by
using the parameters as described in the example below:
GET https://<ISE-ADMIN-NODE>:9060/ers/config/guestuser?size=50&page=0&sortdsc=name
You can find a list of the values that you can use for sorting in Table 6-7 on page 6-9.

Start Bulk Execution for Endpoints
A bulk execution allows you to send up to 500 CRUD operations of the same type in a single request.
If the request is valid, the server returns the status code 202 (ACCEPTED) and a unique bulk identifier in
the LOCATION response header that you can use to track the bulk status using the Get Bulk Status
operation.
Only one bulk is allowed to run at a time. If a bulk request was posted while another bulk is still running,
the server will return with a response status 503 (Service Unavailable) with a corresponding
descriptive message asking the client to try again later.

REST API Client
The External RESTful Services APIs enable you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
operations on Cisco ISE resources. To build and test applications using the External RESTful Services
APIs that communicate with and perform operations on Cisco ISE servers, you can use any industry
standard REST API client, such as the POSTMAN plugin for Google Chrome.
Cisco Identity Services Engine API Reference Guide, Release 1.2
7-52
OL-26134-01
Chapter 7
External RESTful Services API Operations
REST API Client
Designed according to REST architecture and principles, POSTMAN enables you to send and retrieve
standard HTTP and HTTPS requests and responses using the Google Chrome web browser. You can use
the following standard HTTP methods to perform CRUD operations on Cisco ISE resources:
•
GET
•
POST
•
PUT
•
DELETE
The ERS API enables you to use these HTTP requests in various API calls, which in turn enable you to
perform operations on the Cisco ISE servers. For a comprehensive list of operations in which these
HTTP requests are used, see <ERS API Operations>.
Note
To download the POSTMAN plugin, go to
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman-rest-client/
fdmmgilgnpjigdojojpjoooidkmcomcm?hl=en. For more information on using the POSTMAN plugin, go
to https://github.com/a85/POSTMan-Chrome-Extension/wiki.
GET Method
Requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET only retrieve data and do have
any other effect.
Note
This section shows how to use the POSTMAN plugin to invoke an ERS API call. This API call uses the
GET HTTP method in addition to other components of the ERS API, which are not described in this
section. For more details on various ERS API components such as the characteristics, requests, and
responses, see External RESTful Services API Operations.
The request body of the ERS API call that uses the GET HTTPS method contains the following three
building blocks:
•
URI
•
Accept Header
•
Authorization Header
URI
The GET method sends the URI to the Cisco ISE server and the HTTP reply is the raw result data. A
typical URI must adhere to the following format:
•
https://<Cisco ISE Server address:<port>/<namespace>/config/<Cisco ISE Resouce Name>
Where <Cisco ISE Server Address> denotes the server address of the Cisco ISE server, <port>
denotes the port 9060, <namespace> denotes the namespace to which the ISE Resource belongs to,
and <Cisco ISE Resource Name> denotes the name of the Cisco ISE Resource.
The following example shows the URI that requests data for the interaluser ISE Resource:
•
https://10.56.13.196:9060/ers/config/internaluser.
Cisco Identity Services Engine API Reference Guide, Release 1.2
OL-26134-01
7-53
Chapter 7
External RESTful Services API Operations
REST API Client
Note
The URI is not the request body; it is just a URL. This URL is sent to the server using the GET method.
Accept Header
The Accept Header must adhere to the following format:
•
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.<resource-namespace>.<resource-type>.<major version>.<minor
version>+xml
Where <resource-namespace> denotes the namespace to which the ISE Resource belongs to,
<resource-type> denotes the type of the ISE Resource, <major-version> denotes the major version
number of the ISE deployment, and <minor-version> denotes the minor version number of the ISE
deployment.
The following example shows a typical accept header:
•
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.identity.internaluser.1.0+xml
Authorization Header
The Authorization Header contains the encryption authorization key that is embedded into the GET
request. After specifying the authorization credentials, you must generate the encryption key, which is
then embedded into the request body.
Note
For more information on generating the encryption key, see Making the GET Request Using POSTMAN,
page 7-54.
Making the GET Request Using POSTMAN

Cisco Identity Services Engine API Reference Guide, Release 1.2
7-54
OL-26134-01
Chapter 7
External RESTful Services API Operations
REST API Client
Step 7
Add an accept header by specifying the following value:
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.ers.<namespace>.<ise resource>.1.0+xml
For more information on the Accept Header, see Accept Header, page 7-54.
Note
Step 8
Click Send.
The POSTMAN plugin displays a 200 OK status response indicating that the request is successful. The
request also returns the details of the resources that you have specified in the URL.
POST Method
Requests that the server accept the entity enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the web
resource identified by the URI.
Note
This section shows how to use the POSTMAN plugin to invoke an ERS API call. This API call uses the
POST HTTP method in addition to other components of the ERS API, which are not described in this
section. For more details on various ERS API components such as the characteristics, requests, and
responses, see External RESTful Services API Operations.
The request body of the ERS API call that uses the POST HTTP method contains the following three
building blocks:
•
URI
•
Content-Type Header
•
Authorization Header
URI
The POST method sends the URI to the Cisco ISE server. A typical URI must adhere to the following
format:
•
https://<Cisco ISE Server address:<port>/<namespace>/config/<Cisco ISE Resouce Name>
Where <Cisco ISE Server Address> denotes the server address of the Cisco ISE server, <port>
denotes the port 9060, <namespace> denotes the namespace to which the ISE Resource belongs to,
and <Cisco ISE Resource Name> denotes the name of the Cisco ISE Resource.
The following example shows the URI that requests data for the interaluser ISE Resource:
•
Note
https://10.56.13.196:9060/ers/config/internaluser.
The URI is not the request body; it is just a URL. This URL is sent to the server using the POST method.
Content-Type Header
The Content-Type Header must adhere to the following format:
Cisco Identity Services Engine API Reference Guide, Release 1.2
OL-26134-01
7-55

Note
The URI is not the request body; it is just a URL. This URL is sent to the server using the PUT method.
Content-Type Header
The Content-Type Header must adhere to the following format:
•
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.<resource-namespace>.<resource-type>.<major version>.<minor
version>+xml
Where <resource-namespace> denotes the namespace to which the ISE Resource belongs to,
<resource-type> denotes the type of the ISE Resource, <major-version> denotes the major version
number of the ISE deployment, and <minor-version> denotes the minor version number of the ISE
deployment.
The following example shows a typical accept header:
•
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.identity.internaluser.1.0+xml
Authorization Header
The Authorization Header contains the encryption authorization key that is embedded into the PUT
request. After specifying the authorization credentials, you must generate the encryption key, which is
then embedded into the request body.
Note
For more information on generating the encryption key, see Making the PUT Request Using POSTMAN,
page 7-58.
Making the PUT Request Using POSTMAN
Procedure
Step 1
Open the POSTMAN plugin in the Google Chrome browser.
Step 2
Create a new collection using the options in the left pane.
Note
For more information on using the POSTMAN plugin, go to
https://github.com/a85/POSTMan-Chrome-Extension/wiki.
Step 3
From the drop-down menu, choose PUT.
Step 4
In the URI bar, enter the URI.
The URI specifies the Cisco ISE server with which you are trying to communicate and the ISE resource
that you are trying to access. For more information on the format of the URI, see URI, page 7-57.
Step 5
Click the Basic Auth tab.
The options that enable you to specify the user access credentials appear.
Step 6
Specify your access credentials in the Username and Password fields and click Refresh Headers.
POSTMAN displays an Authorization header with an encryption key.

Step 7
Add a Content-Type header by specifying the following value:
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.ers.<namespace>.<ise resource>.1.0+xml
Note
For more information on the Accept Header, see Content-Type Header, page 7-58.
Step 8
From the drop-down menu that appears next to the raw button, choose XML.
Step 9
Click raw.
Step 10
The POSTMAN plugin opens an editing pane that enables you to specify the body of the POST request.
Step 11
Enter the message body of your POST request in the editing pane.
Note
Step 12
This message body must contain the details corresponding to the ISE resource that you trying to update
on the ISE server. For example, while updating an interaluser, you must specify details such as the name
of internaluser, description of the interaluser, password, and so on. For more details on the message body
of the ERS APIs that use the POST request and the details of the ISE resources that you need to specify,
see External RESTful Services API Operations.
Click Send.
The POSTMAN plugin displays a 201 CREATED status response indicating that the request is
successful. You can go to the ISE GUI to verify whether the ISE resource you have added appears in the
ISE GUI.
Delete Method
Deletes the specified resource.
Note
This section shows how to use the POSTMAN plugin to invoke an ERS API call. This API call uses the
DELETE HTTP method in addition to other components of the ERS API, which are not described in this
section. For more details on various ERS API components such as the characteristics, requests, and
responses, see External RESTful Services API Operations.
The request body of the ERS API call that uses the DELETE HTTP method contains the following three
building blocks:
•
URI
•
Accept Header
•
Authorization Header
URI
The DELETE method sends the URI to the Cisco ISE server. A typical URI must adhere to the following
format:
•
https://<Cisco ISE Server address:<port>/<namespace>/config/<Cisco ISE Resouce Name>

Where <Cisco ISE Server Address> denotes the server address of the Cisco ISE server, <port>
denotes the port 9060, <namespace> denotes the namespace to which the ISE Resource belongs to,
and <Cisco ISE Resource Name> denotes the name of the Cisco ISE Resource.
The following example shows the URI that requests data for the interaluser ISE Resource:
•
Note
https://10.56.13.196:9060/ers/config/internaluser.
The URI is not the request body; it is just a URL. This URL is sent to the server using the GET method.
Accept Header
The Accept Header must adhere to the following format:
•
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.<resource-namespace>.<resource-type>.<major version>.<minor
version>+xml
Where <resource-namespace> denotes the namespace to which the ISE Resource belongs to,
<resource-type> denotes the type of the ISE Resource, <major-version> denotes the major version
number of the ISE deployment, and <minor-version> denotes the minor version number of the ISE
deployment.
The following example shows a typical accept header:
•
application/vnd.com.cisco.ise.identity.internaluser.1.0+xml
Authorization Header
The Authorization Header contains the encryption authorization key that is embedded into the DELETE
request. After specifying the authorization credentials, you must generate the encryption key, which is
then embedded into the request body.
Note
For more information on generating the encryption key, see Making the DELETE Request Using
POSTMAN, page 7-60.

Cisco ISE Failure Reasons Report
This appendix provides a procedure you can use to access the Cisco ISE Failure Reasons report. The
Cisco ISE Failure Reason report allows you to view the list of failure reasons.
Introduction
The Cisco ISE Failure Reason report is an option in the Cisco ISE user interface that provides
information about all of the failure reasons that could be encountered. You can use this to check on those
that are returned as output from a Get Failure Reason Mapping call when using the Cisco ISE Query
troubleshooting API.
The Cisco ISE Failure Reasons report lets you access the complete list of failure reasons defined by the
Cisco ISE software that apply to Cisco Monitoring ISE node operations. The following procedure lets
you view or edit the list of defined failure reasons. You must log into the Cisco ISE user interface of the
target Cisco Monitoring ISE node to view and access the failure reasons. For details about logging in,
see Verifying a Monitoring Node, page 1-2.
Viewing Failure Reasons
Step 1
Choose Operations > Reports > Authnetication Summary report.
Step 2
In the navigation panel, expand Monitoring and select Failure Reason Editor.
Step 3
